Spyder Paintball is excited to announce that they will be expanding their promotional partnership with Giant Sportz, operators of five of the best paintball fields on the West Coast including the World Famous SC Village and Hollywood Sports Park. Giant Sportz has already been working closely with Spyder Paintball throughout the last decade, most recently offering their incredible MRX marker as a rental gun upgrade at each location.

After teaming up together to co-market the benchmark “Field Makeover Program” contest, where one lucky field in the US will receive a complete overhaul including a new rental fleet and strategic marketing package, the two companies are now preparing to offer free VIP entry passes to select Giant Sportz facilities. That’s right, they’re giving away FREE paintball tickets!

Starting in the next few weeks, every order placed through Spyder Paintball or an official Spyder affiliated dealer/store, will include a free entry pass to a Giant Sportz paintball field, worth up to $28. So that’s not one but TWO ways you can receive your free ticket! Passes will be sent directly to Spyder affiliate paintball stores so that you can receive them immediately after making your in-store purchase, while California residents can get theirs mailed to them by ordering gear through the Spyder Paintball online store at www.Spyder.tv.

“We expect to distribute more than 10,000 free entry passes in the next couple of months,” said Dennis Bukowski, owner of Giant Sportz. “The team at Spyder Paintball has always put the customer first, which is why we are eager to partner with them on their new initiative.”

After one of the most successful launches in mil-sim marker history, the Spyder MRX Elite continues to make headlines across the paintball industry, with stores, fields and teams alike lining up to add this exciting new marker to their arsenal. Just recently, Ralph “Tazz” Gonzalez, owner and founder of Bandit Splat Paintball (BPS Sports), one of the largest and most successful paintball stores on the West Coast, got his hands on the MRX Elite and wasted no time in bringing this unique marker to his customers.

“The majority of my business comes from players looking for the best woodsball and scenario gear that’s on the market,” said Gonzalez. “The MRX Elite gives me the opportunity to service all of my customers that are craving an affordable high-end tactical marker that combines both amazing features and cosmetic appeal. It has already become one of the fastest selling items I have, which is why I’m on the phone with Spyder Paintball constantly making sure it stays in stock on my shelves.”

In addition to his storefront, “Tazz” has also outfitted his own BPS Sports factory team with the MRX Elite, where they’ll be using the marker throughout the rest of the 2012 season. The team has already brought the Elite’s out during practice, where various members put it through its paces on a wide variety of terrain offered at the World Famous SC Village Paintball Park in Chino, CA.

“Our goal is to become one of the most dominant scenario teams not only in Southern California but also the country, and we’re confident the MRX Elite will help get us there,” said Gonzalez. “The boys love the Dual Loading System, plus we’re able to get close to a single case of paint out of a single air fill with our larger tanks, which is key during long scenario battles.”

You can see the MRX Elite in action on the Spyder Paintball( www.spyder.tv). To learn more about BPS Sports and their factory team, visit them here.
